Fil-Am chef Dale Talde expands resto business to New Jersey and Florida

Noted Filipino-American chef Dale Talde has expanded his pop restaurant business to New Jersey on February and will bring his Filipino creations to Florida later this year.

An article on the New York Eater said the Park Slope, Jersey City branch of Talde will serve the chef's signature items such as pretzel pork and chive dumplings as well as Korean fried chicken with spicy kimchi yogurt sauce.

Dim sum items such as the McBao, a roasted pork bun with sweet pickles, and robatayaki samples like charred lobster tails will make their debut in the branch, along with over 100 types of wine and unique cocktails, the report added.

The Jersey branch opened next to Carrino Provisions, an Italian market opened by Talde and partners Anthony Carrino and John Colenari in January.

It also allows diners who couldn't get a table at the popular restaurant to have their wontons delivered at their homes.

Culinary site The Daily Meal, meanwhile, reported that the Talde branch that will be opened at Thompson Miami Beach will serve the same food as its Brooklyn counterpart, along with new dishes influenced by local Miami flavors.

Talde first pinged on Filipino foodies' radars in 2012 when he became one of the top contenders for the ninth season of "Top Chef."

According to his biography on Bravo, the chef's passion for food first emerged when his immigrant parents taught him the basics of the kitchen while growing up in Chicago.

He graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1998 before going on to staff and consult at famous eateries such as Naha, Morimoto, and Buddakan. —Rie Takumi/KBK, GMA News

Vietnam condemns China's 'brutal behavior' in fisher attack ---- Agence France-Presse

HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnam's foreign ministry condemned on Wednesday China's "brutal behavior" during a violent attack on Vietnamese fishers in the disputed South China Sea. The 10 fishermen were reportedly beaten with iron bars and robbed of thousands of dollars' worth of fish and equipment on Sunday off the Paracel Islands -- an archipelago in the resource-rich waterway claimed by China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei. Vietnam "resolutely protests the brutal behavior of Chinese law enforcement forces against Vietnamese fishermen and fishing vessels operating in the Hoang Sa archipelago of Vietnam", foreign ministry spokesperson Vietnam Pham Thu Hang said in a statement, using the Vietnamese term for the Paracel Islands. "The above actions of Chinese law enforcement forces seriously violated Vietnam's sovereignty" over the archipelago, the statement said. Four of the Vietnamese crew were taken to hospital on Monday

Africa roads are world’s deadliest despite few cars ---- AFP

ADDIS ABABA: Africa has the fewest roads and cars of any region, and yet the largest ratio of vehicle deaths, caused by the usual suspects — unsafe habits, speeding and drinking — but also poor infrastructure, scant rescuers and old cars. As everywhere, speed, alcohol and not wearing a seat belt or helmet are among the main causes of death and injury, say experts. But in Africa, where there are 620 traffic deaths every day, these problems are compounded by bad roads, outdated vehicles, minimal prosecutions and a shortage of emergency services. A recent World Health Organization report found that Africa surpassed the rest of the world, including Southeast Asia — which recorded the most road deaths — with a record ratio of 19.5 people killed per 100,000 inhabitants in 2021. Home to only around four percent of the world’s automobiles, Africa accounted for 19 percent of road deaths last year. “What is worrying is the upward trend in Africa,” said Jean Todt, a former head of the Internati

Russia captures town after 2 years of Ukrainian resistance --- Reuters

Russian forces now control 98.5% of Luhansk, 60% of Donetsk MOSCOW: Russian troops on Wednesday took charge of the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar, a bastion that had resisted intense attacks since Russia launched its full-scale assault in 2022. The advance of Moscow's forces, which control just under a fifth of Ukraine, has underlined Russia's vast superiority in men and materiel as Ukraine pleads for more weapons from the Western allies that have been supporting it. Ukraine's eastern military command said it had ordered a pullback from the hilltop coal mining town to avoid encirclement by Russian troops and "preserve personnel and military equipment". The Russian defense ministry did not mention Vuhledar in its daily battlefield report. Russian Telegram channels, however, published video of troops waving the Russian tricolor flag over shattered buildings. The town, which had a population of over 14,000 before the war, has been devastated, with Soviet-era
